Panoro Energy - Completion of Acquisition

Panoro Energy - Completion of Acquisition

Oslo, 31 March 2021 - Panoro Energy ASA ("Panoro") is pleased to announce the

completion of the acquisition by Panoro Energy Holding B.V. of all of the issued

share capital of Tullow Equatorial Guinea Limited ("TEGL") from a subsidiary of

Tullow Oil plc. TEGL holds a 14.25% non-operated working interest in Block G

which contains the Ceiba and Okume Complex assets, offshore Equatorial Guinea.

Net production to Panoro from these assets is expected to be approximately 5000

bopd in 2021.

John Hamilton CEO of Panoro said: "The acquisition of the Block G assets from

Tullow marks the first of two closing steps in our previously announced

transactions. Together, these transactions are transformational for Panoro,

increasing our production and reserves position by a factor of 3-4 times. We are

very pleased to be joining the Block G JV partnership. We would like to thank

the Ministry of Mines, Industry and Energy in Equatorial Guinea for their

excellent cooperation to date and we look forward to creating value together for

the country, the JV partners, and wider stakeholders."

The completion consideration is US$88.8 million following customary adjustments.

The acquisition has been funded by a drawdown of US$55 million under the US$90

million debt facility arranged by Trafigura and with the Mauritius Commercial

Bank as mandated lead arranger and facility agent, and the balance from equity

funds.

In parallel, Panoro is continuing to further progress the completion conditions

related to its purchase of Tullow's 10% working interest in Dussafu Marin

permit, offshore Gabon, and will update shareholders in due course.
